The sun has peeked its head out of the clouds and it’s time for us all to consider baring our pins once more. A lifetime of winter and the accompanying neglect means you want to smooth and soften them, but as you’re blowing your budget on pretty frocks, you want to find a quality product that doesn’t cost the earth.

These are three top body lotions that will get your skin feeling super soft, and let you save your cash for those Kurt Geiger shoes…

Johnson’s 24hour Moisture Extra Rich Body lotion

Beloved of both babies and adults alike, Johnson’s is known for producing high quality products that are gentle on the skin. They’ve recently reformulated their 24hour Moisture range to make it literally sink into the skin when you apply it, and have lots of charts and graphs to prove that you’ll still be feeling the effects 24 hours after application. As well a higher levels of emollients and glycerin (which help the skin retain moisture) they’ve also added a drop of oil to the lotion for dry skin, which feels very soft on application and has a non greasy finish.

Botanics Organic Body Lotion

This lotion smells really fresh and sinks into the skin very quickly. I really like the light consistency and the way it gives the legs a subtle sheen. It leaves the skin feeling really hydrated and refreshed, and is great for a quick perk me up in the mornings.

£4.99 from Boots

Boots Original Body Lotion

If the retro style of this bottle hasn’t hooked you in, the fact that the formula combines patchouli and lavender oil should make you a lifelong fan. The lotion feels really conditioning on the skin, and the use of essential oils makes the skin feel really soft and protected.
